An update for Darwin TVS.

After a Large single-day drop yesterday, I finally decided to deployed 02 Short Equity Indices strategies( one trend trading and another counter-trend trading). The purpose of this Long/Short trade is to smoothen the equity curve without impacting profit.

Now Equity indices are Long/Short portfolios in place of long-only trade. Following are the impact of Long/Short
1. Nos of trades double(approx.)
2. No/little impact on Profit
3. DD reduced by approx. 40-50%

Darwin TVS completed two year of track record.
Sep-21 month end with single largest losing month till date. Reason behind large loss is I increase the risk on equity indices per trade since last month and also sep-21 was worst month this year for stock market.

Following are changes I made over 02 year period at portfolio level.

1.When I stared darwin TVS 75% risk was allotted to forex and 25% risk allotted to stock Indices but now it is 75% to indices and 25% to forex.

2.At the beginning It was more Trend trading then counter - trend but now both type strategy have same kind of balance risk.

3.Aim of darwin TVS is to capture 100%of stock indices movement with 50% lower DD. So if stock perfom well then darwin TVS will perform well.

Hope darwin TVS continue to perform in coming months.

Regards

Hi Longvision.
Is is the reason for the current DD? very close to the maximum drawdown.
Regards!
Darwin TVS uses an EA for trading Equity indices such as NASDAQ-100.
This strategy severely underperforms when the market is range-bound with high volatility. There is nothing unusual. Already 70% position closed by EA.

I will explain it in the next few posts.
 
The main strategy is trade equity indices, there are also other strategies that trade forex and commodity with no correlation. Sometimes most strategy goes down even they are historically uncorrelated.

Since July-21 many strategies become correlated that's why there are ups and downs for the equity curve.

Here is Strategy backrest on Nasdaq-100.

This strategy uses Stop-Loss and 2X-leverage. so when the market condition is range-bound with high volatility then there are multiple stop-loss and DD will be high due to 2X-leverage.

Here is a summary of Strategy performance.
